The marvellous nature of star photo

Proctor, the English astronomer, who
says: II know not how 1t may be with

waves which have travelled across the IL
limitable depths OF interstellar space, TAX

moving achievements of the science of our
day.

LOVE SONG.

! love thee sol love thee sol
Only my heart alone can know.
Life that ever was over-sweet,
Groweth more beautiful, more completes
Heaven hath never been so close,
And every step Is over O rose.
Glad new thoughts In my bosom call;
Love for thee meaneath love for all;
Tenderer pity for pain and wo,
Trouble and sorrow all men know;
Tenderer longing to help and give,
And make earth brighter because live.
Daily duties. that mean so much,
Break and blossom, at Loves soft touch,
In sweetest flowers; each common care
Seemeth easy and light to bear.
Life's cup Of joy is full, and, loi
Love hath made 1t to overflow.
Happy birds on the swinging bough,
Your songs were never so sweet as nowl
Summer flowers, o, is 1t true
You ever were half so fair to vIewt
Heaven hath never been so close,
And every step Is over a rosc.

s.Sren Talk, bat Don't Converse /"

@Do you know" said st. Paul young
lady, who is some ewhat of literary turn
of mind, to friend, "that one of the best
ways to form an estimate of any person
with whom you are acquain ted, with re-
spect to his mental endowments, is to
note the ratio of personalities to generali-
ties in his conversation. I have tried this
and find it to be an infallible method. 1t
requires but little effort Of mind to &C
quire stock of personalities, and less
effort to narrate them. One whose con-
versation abounds with generalities and
occurrences that happen outside of his
personal experience m 4n efests an active
mind; mental activity Is necessary to
generalize and formulate. BY converse

stood by the term. In it's higher sense it
may be said that all men talk, but few
